Apologies for the ambiguous title - I couldn't think how to word this for a title.
Basically, I'm playing around with creating a simple server/client programs in Java. My server runs a thread to constantly check for new connections, then if a connection is found - it creates a thread and a connection object just for that connection.
Problem comes in at the thread that checks for new connections - it didn't work, until I started error checking and when I added in the line:
System.out.println("");
It suddenly started to work as it should. Removing this line causes no new threads to be added for connections. I assumed it was providing enough delay for the thread to run properly or something, so I put in a for loop for a while to see if that worked - but nothing else has worked apart from that one simple line.
Here's the code for creating new connection threads:
class ThreadCreator implements Runnable {
ThreadCreator() {
}
public void run() {
while(true) {
System.out.println("WHY DOES THIS WORK??");
for(int i = 0; i < connections.size(); i++) {
if(connections.get(i).thread == false) {
Runnable ReadRunnable = new Read(connections.get(i));
Thread ReadThread = new Thread(ReadRunnable, "MWHAHAH");
ReadThread.setPriority(Thread.MAX_PRIORITY);
ReadThread.start();
connections.get(i).thread = true;
System.out.println("THREAD CREATED");
}
}
}
}
}
I can't imagine what could be going wrong..?
